After 3 years of wait book a 2 week cruise from Kiel to Marseille
Start with food or the lack of you have to ask for everything (yes everything) even salt and pepper shakers. The dinning room is not much better
The service was ok and the excursion were good when they didn't cancel the ones you picked
Room was normal size with a non working fridge and a window view of a deck ...
This was my first time cruising with MSC. Before the cruise, I was a little bit concern because of some negative reviews.
As far as I understand, the ship was only 50% full. I was told that quite a lot of cancellations because of the change of route. Instead of St Petersburg, we stayed 2 nights in Tallinn.
I had the premium balcony cabin. There's a big sofa which can turn into a double ...
Perhaps one thing in advance. This is not the first time we have travelled with TUI, and so far we have spent about 150 days on board various ships and shipping companies - but we do not belong to the TUI fan club that lives on Artisan Bread and cannot live without the departure anthem and makes this known in the evenings at the bar by slandering Aida - so much for parts of the crowd.
But from ...
We got to Treviso Cruise Terminal with economy private transfer directly from Piazzale Roma in Venice where we spent one week with our friends. After arriving in Terminal we had a bad experience with very long burocracy and had to wait about 4 hours before enter in the cabins. This MSC ship is one of the best and have incredible internal design. Our trip in Mediteranian was full of advantures, the ...
Right now, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic there isn't much of a choice. I live in Dusseldorf, Germany. Started cruising in 2013 and just celebrating my 50th cruise. The well-known cruise line AIDA failed due to lack of permission of its registry country Italy and Corona positive crew members. It seemed that TUI Cruises was doing better.
The planned itinerary - from Hamburg (Mein Schiff ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We had never been to Iceland and we thought this would give us an idea of what to see there.
The embarkation process was horrible. Long lines and only two windows open when we arrived. We had to drag our luggage with us through the whole line.
We were assigned the wrong dining time. It took us three days and a lot of haggling to get it changed. ...
We chose this cruise for the ports of call and to see Iceland - a 17 night transatlantic from Kiel, Germany to New York City. A beautiful ship- great staff - a mozzarella making station - great your choice dining at which tables for 2 were plentiful - However, an absent Captain, a wannabe Cruise Director, passengers embarking and debarking at every European port - a FLOATING BUS - Our welcome ...
Selected this cruise to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary so special occasion = the Yacht Club experience. I'm so glad I chose the YC as the rest of the ship was just way too big for me.
One of the reasons I paid so much for YC was priority embarkation and disembarkation. Unfortunately there was no priority embarkation at Kiel, despite what I'd been told beforehand and it really was ...
Quick caveat that while this was my 25th sailing, this was my first (and will be my only) sailing on an MSC ship. It didn't take long for my group and I to notice that MSC caters to the European market, not the American market. This is blatantly apparent when it comes to customer service. MSC has a "it is what is is" mentality when it comes to delivering poor customer experience, which they did ...
This was a winter break away. The check in was straight forward. No major problems.
Inside the ship, you scan your sea pass card at a machine and authorize €250 to b taken as on board credit.
The first night, the food was abhorrent. Our waiter James from India was quite quick with service. The dining room is all on one level.
The headliner show was a magician who made animal shapes ...
